C-Dub and Bones explore Jesus' controversial healings on the Sabbath and how religious leaders were more concerned with preserving tradition than celebrating restoration. Through examining scripture passages in Luke 6 and Luke 13, they uncover powerful insights about how modern churches can similarly prioritize rules over relationship.

• Jesus healed a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath, triggering outrage from religious leaders
• The withered right hand symbolizes how churches can lose their power and authority
• Religious systems often become more focused on methods than purpose
• We easily become indifferent or jealous when hearing testimonies of God's work in others' lives
• Churches enthusiastically pray for revival but may resist it when it arrives outside their control
• Fear of losing influence drives much religious opposition to God's unexpected movements
• We need to crucify our flesh daily, including our desire for control and recognition

Ever notice how some Christian leaders present a polished façade while others overshare every struggle on social media? Both miss the mark of true servant leadership. 

Drawing from Paul's letters to Timothy and Titus, we explore what genuine leadership in the body of Christ requires—character that stands up to scrutiny. The recent wave of ministry scandals reveals what happens when gifting outpaces maturity. Leaders face a unique challenge: their platforms magnify both their strengths and flaws. Some failures expose truly demonic behavior, while others simply reveal the character deficiencies that pressure and prominence bring to light.

Yet the solution isn't broadcasting every personal struggle for clicks and attention. Jesus himself underwent wilderness testing privately before public ministry. There's wisdom in processing certain challenges with God alone, building substance behind your gifting where nobody's watching. When you've gained victory or received clear direction to share, your testimony becomes powerful—not because you're perfect, but because you've been proven.

The wilderness process may not be comfortable, but it's essential. It addresses the gap between spiritual gifts and leadership maturity. If you're sensing a call to ministry or already serving in leadership, remember that effective discipleship requires having "your stuff together" in the areas where you lead. Not perfection—substance.

Willard and Carol McDonnell share their journey in prophetic ministry, balancing firmness with love while emphasizing the importance of loving God and His people above all else.

Important topics of discussion include:
•  The need to allow God to change us from the inside out rather than trying to change ourselves
• How prophetic words helped their marriage by clarifying their individual purposes and how they work together.
• The pressure to perform in ministry and the importance of maintaining integrity
• How prophetic words have timing—some received decades ago are just now coming to pass
• How understanding that "God sees you" can bring peace when struggling with unfulfilled prophetic words
• The conversation concludes with the reminder that God's approval comes with fewer strings attached than man's approval

Freedom in Christ or submission to religious systems? That's the challenging question at the heart of this thought-provoking episode that exposes the spirit of control infiltrating many churches today.

Jesus taught that we cannot serve two masters. When church protocols and pastoral directives become more important than the leading of the Holy Spirit, believers find themselves trapped in a system that produces obedient church members rather than mature followers of Christ. Galatians 5:1-3 reminds us to "stand fast in the liberty by which Christ has made us free" – a freedom that applies not just to the law of Moses but to all religious systems that create bondage....including our church protocols.

Perhaps most provocatively, we explore why some believers actually prefer controlled environments. The responsibility of Spirit-led living can feel overwhelming to those accustomed to being told what to do. Yet this discomfort doesn't justify returning to systems that restrict the liberty Christ died to provide. True spiritual authority flows from authentic relationship with God, not titles or positions. As Jesus taught in Matthew 20, genuine leadership in His kingdom manifests as servanthood, not domination.

We continue our exploration of Carl Jung's statement about organized religion protecting people from direct experiences of God, examining how leadership positions often reveal our spiritual readiness.

• Leadership requires independence, yet God calls us to codependence with Him
• Positional leadership is the weakest form - true leadership is about influence, not title
• Religious systems can become idols when we begin "worshiping the filter" rather than God
• Biblical pattern shows transformative divine encounters often happen in isolation
• "Be feral in Jesus" - pursuing God authentically beyond institutional constraints
• True spiritual knowledge comes from direct experience, not secondhand information
• Your sphere of influence indicates where God may be calling you to lead
• Leaders must avoid "collecting people" and instead recognize they belong to God

Foolishness surrounds us. From social media hot takes to street protests, we're witnessing cycles of reaction without reflection—exactly what ancient wisdom warned against. This episode dives deep into Proverbs 29 and 30, examining Solomon's timeless insights on dealing with fools in a world that increasingly resembles one.

"If a wise man contends with a foolish man, whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no peace." This single verse captures why so many of our attempts at meaningful dialogue fail. We explore why arguing with those unwilling to consider other perspectives leaves everyone frustrated, and how wisdom sometimes means knowing when to remain silent. As Mark Twain famously suggested, it's "It's better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

What makes this teaching particularly relevant today is our constant exposure to information requiring immediate reactions. The foolish respond instantly with feelings rather than thought, while Wisdom calls for pause and reflection. We examine the challenging balance between grace and consequences through King David's story—how his forgiveness didn't eliminate the ripple effects of his actions with Bathsheba. This serves as a powerful reminder that none of us can outrun the natural outcomes of our choices, forgiven though we may be.

The pathway forward isn't complicated but requires courage: be the one who breaks cycles of foolishness by thinking before speaking, listening to spiritual guidance rather than emotional impulses, and returning to ancient wisdom for direction. Whether you're facing workplace drama, family conflicts, or trying to navigate polarized social issues, these principles offer a steadying influence in unsteady times.

• Unpacking Moses' request to see God's glory in Exodus 33
• Understanding that God shows Moses His back but not His face—protection from what humans cannot handle
• Becoming "nose blind" to the presence of God when we're immersed in it daily
• Recognizing our own flaws and limitations, just as Moses had anger issues that kept him from the promised land
• Sharing personal weekend challenges that revealed God's protection even amid frustration
• Noticing divine patterns that shift our perspective from complaints to gratitude

Ever noticed how easily we become offended when God doesn't operate according to our expectations? This episode tackles a profound spiritual truth that's been weighing heavily on my heart: if you don't understand what God is doing or His purpose, you'll inevitably be offended at His process or method.

Drawing from Hebrews 1, we explore how God speaks "in various times and various ways" – He's not cookie-cutter in His approach. There are Biblical examples where this principle plays out dramatically: John the Baptist confused the religious leaders because they couldn't grasp his purpose. Jesus constantly faced opposition from those who didn't understand His mission. Even His closest followers – Judas selling Him out after the expensive perfume incident and Peter being called "Satan" moments after divine revelation – demonstrate how missing God's purpose leads to taking offense at His methods.

I share our personal wilderness experience, when leaving the institutional church triggered judgment from those who couldn't see what God was doing. Yet that same process, misunderstood by many, was precisely what God used to expose hidden issues and develop authentic relationship with Him. The solution to avoiding unnecessary offense is refreshingly simple: ask God what He's doing. During prayer, with pen and paper ready, directly inquire about His purposes. Write down what you hear, test it against Scripture, and watch how it unfolds – even when it doesn't match your expectations.
